Part 2 .... NICU Stay of a 33 Week Gestation Baby
Mother went in for a regular prenatal checkup at 33 weeks, and was flown to OU Children's Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for an induction. Blood pressure was near 172/110 and she displayed signs of the severe form of preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome.
"HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening pregnancy complication usually considered to be a variant of preeclampsia. Both conditions usually occur during the later stages of pregnancy, or sometimes after childbirth.
HELLP syndrome was named by Dr. Louis Weinstein in 1982 after its characteristics:
H (hemolysis, which is the breaking down of red blood cells)
EL (elevated liver enzymes)
LP (low platelet count)
HELLP syndrome can be difficult to diagnose, especially when high blood pressure and protein in the urine aren't present. Its symptoms are sometimes mistaken for gastritis, flu, acute hepatitis, gall bladder disease, or other conditions.
The global mortality rate of HELLP syndrome has been reported to be as high as 25%. That's why it's critical for expecting mothers to be aware of the condition and its symptoms so they can receive early diagnosis and treatment."
Baby was born at 3lbs 12oz and had a 14-day NICU stay. He was able to go home at 4lbs 2oz once he could suck/swallow and regulate his own body temperature.
